Too Frustrating to purchase

No preview pics?

from WinCustomize Forums
I downloaded the latest Windowblinds and was impressed enough to consider a purchase. However, a quick visit to wincustomize has changed my mind. I started browsing the themes and noticed that I can't seem to see most of the preview pictures. Is this a glitch, or do people just not post previews? Must not be a browser issue, I tried it in Firefox and IE. I looked through the forum for posts about this issue, but most just had clever, but not helpful, subject lines. If somebody can tell me why I can't see previews before I download a theme, I might purchase OD. And, please, in the great tradition of Stardock, don't tell me I have to make yet another purchase to see previews of themes before I download them.

I use Zone Alarm*, but never had this problem-- maybe I'm doing something wrong...

*Firewall only-- the free one

Maybe just a 'Pro' issue...

The free version has no privacy adjustments, thus, 'no' problems......

Isn't that always the way with security.....Norton, McAfee ....both never-ending sources of annoyance and frustration.

Then there was the security guard I read about recently....was awoken by intruders and assisted said intruders to load a truck with $1.2 mil of his employer's stock
